Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery -- a multi-billion dollar criminal industry that denies freedom to 20.9 million people around the world. And no matter where you live, chances are it's happening nearby. From the girl forced into prostitution at a truck stop, to the man discovered in a restaurant kitchen, stripped of his passport and held against his will.

Happy Tuesday beautiful hearts! Today I want to talk about Human Trafficking. According to an online researcher, Human Trafficking has become the second most profitable industry after drug trafficking. A few years ago my mom's church put together a presentation about Human Trafficking and this was the first time I had ever heard of of this epidemic. I can still feel the gasp in my heart as I listened to the atrocities of this form of modern day slavery.

They often say that the only way a change can come about is to educate yourself and the environment around you. I can't even imagine that this criminal industry exists, but as a citizen of this world, I feel it imperative to share some info with you in the hopes that this knowledge will transform and inspire you in your corner of the world. In my corner of the world, I looked up the statistics for the state of Ohio over the last calendar year. There were 292 reported cases of trafficking, of which 217 were sex trafficking. Out of these 292 cases, 259 were females. What can one do to help?
